AbstractConzen suggests that America's German Catholic immigrants, while certainly a minority within a minority, can be studied to provide insight into "the pervasiveness of nineteenth-century confessionalism"; raise questions about the relationship between Catholic revival and emigration; and to "help clarify the logic of the emergent American state's concern with Catholic religion."
